Strength comparison between UK, France and Germany

When it comes to Western countries, the first thing we think of is Europe. However, after the end of World War II, Europe gradually declined, and the United States became the most powerful country in the West. Although a large part of Russia is in Asia, In fact, he is also a Western country.

After the Second World War, the power of the former European powers declined very seriously. In the past, the European powers in our minds were the United Kingdom, Germany and France. Now, who is the European leader among these three countries?

In the last century, Britain was once the most powerful country in Europe. It was even called an empire on which the sun never sets. As long as the sun shines, there are British colonies. These were brought to him by the Industrial Revolution and Britain’s powerful navy. Later, the center of the third industrial revolution was transferred to the United States, and the United Kingdom was not as brilliant as before.

In addition, after the end of World War II, more and more countries have awakened their awareness of democracy and human rights, and these people have begun to take up arms to fight against the United Kingdom. The number of British colonies has become less and less, and the former Western hegemons are gone forever. .

But to many people’s surprise, even so, the UK’s strength is still the strongest among the three countries of Britain, France and Germany. In terms of economic strength, Germany should be the best developed country. Although Germany was a defeated country, during World War II, Germany’s domestic industrial level was already very good. Although it suffered a blow because of the defeat, after all, the foundation is very solid, so the recovery after the war is also very fast. In this day and age, the industrial level is one of the important components of economic strength.

In terms of military strength, Britain is a skinny camel bigger than a horse. Britain used to have the most powerful navy in the world, with 1.02 million troops even right after World War II. In the following years, in order to reduce military spending, the United Kingdom has been reducing its military. But even so, they still have 1,000 fighters left. And the United Kingdom launched a new aircraft carrier last year, and it is now a dual-carrier country.

Although France’s strength has not declined so fast, its own military is not as strong as that of Britain. Not to mention Germany, the former German military was indeed very powerful, but after its defeat in World War II, the size of its army was limited. At the same time, it was the only one among the three countries that did not have nuclear weapons, nor did it have an aircraft carrier. This is also to prevent him from starting another world war.

In terms of international influence, the UK is obviously stronger. Germany has been excluded from the list first. He has not even joined the United Nations Organization. Compared with France, although the United Kingdom is one of the five permanent members of the United Nations, the United Kingdom is still the core country of the British Commonwealth, which has a total of 54 core countries. , at this point, England beat France. On the whole, the overall strength of the UK is stronger than that of France, and France is stronger than Germany.
